    • [2003, Webster, Donovan, chapter 14, in The Burma Road: The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II, New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 222-223:
      The Chinese didn’t relent, however, and despite huge losses to both forces, the Y Force eventually took the city on June 10. Now they had to turn their attention to the Japanese garrison city of Tengchung, forty miles to Lungling’s north, and to the long, impregnable, and still-Japanese-controlled ridge of Sungshan, which still imperiled the Burma Road and its Salween River crossing.]
